I took this at the San Diego zoo, not in the wild. Don't know if that's ok for this forum. Anyways the sun was coming trough some trees partially lighting this mandarin duck's face perfect for a portrait I thought. Shot with a D800 and 300 2.8 Tokina and 1.4 converter. He was pretty close.

Monochrome or Color?
